Looking great

We are going to be buying a small sand blaster cabinet, so we can blast rocker covers etc..... before we paint and dip them.

Look like they've come out really well - will be interesting to see how they look on the car.

yeah mate. Took half day holiday but still had to stay on site as Im supervision, fire marshal and first aider. I initially had next week off work but the night shift started so they asked me to cover. As long as i can do my wheels.

Wow! They came out great Sam. Interesting choice of colour and the sparkle lacquer but works better than most of the alloy silvers you see out of a can.

You do have some handy stuff at work. Speaking of which, you're handy work on my wheels will finally be rewarded with some paint very soon.

what! You still have them. I thought that they would have disintegrated into a pile of dust. Tell me, how do you spray dust? I thought that you would just blow it away with the force of the air from the gun.

You'd think wouldn't you! Maybe if they were some cheap nasty wheel. Volks will stand the test of time!

Dont be put off. The hardest part is the prep. Get that right and you should get good results.
